The 2 second delay is either your AVR or TV changing resolution as stated above. This occurs on every device I've seen. In my experience this delay when switching between HD and SD broadcasts is worthwhile as the internal upscaling in the Sky box could be bested by a pair of drunk gerbils.

As the title says, it's gone active. We're watching a kids show right now over my BT Infinity connection and the program buffered for all of 5 seconds before we could start viewing.

There are all sorts of angles to this story. From what I have read around is that C4's offer wasn't as large as the joint BBC-Sky offer, would have meant BBC being responsible for breach of contract payments, AND would not guarantee no cuts to adverts durring live races. It was a while ago...

Just got this in from America. Wow. It's like honey flowing out my speakers and in to my ear canals. Absolutely loving it. Thank you to the people responsible for making this release happen.

I did exactly this- except in reverse. I had a 5.1 Mordaunt Short set that were alright but needed to get my front two off of speakerstands thanks to a curious one year old and two toppling incidents- so the wife agreed to a pair of RX6's (weyhey!) and I put the L/R MS bookshelves on (wait for...

I think this post hits the nail on the head. Networks are by their own nature pretty complex technology and "easy for the masses" approach that ISPs take of giving people cheap as chips routers with dumbed-down firmware is only ever going to work in the most basic of setups (ie a computer or...

If your sofa is right up against the back wall I'd say you probably wont get much benefit from an extra pair of rears. (...and this coming from someone who always praises the advantages of extra rears!) You might see some benefit from using extra height or (if you've got the room some say this...

I'm a big fan of the Flat setting as well. The difference (from my reading) between the Flat and Standard EQ modes are that the standard mode represents an optimised setup with a slight roll-off of high frequencies for listening to cinematic content (which is often mixed with a treble heavy...

He's got the exact same rant in other forums too... Word for word- didn't even correct the grammar from one post to the next.

I would leave the Sky set to Automatic. If you set it to 1080i then the Sky box will upscale everything before it outputs it and the scaler in the Sky box is atrocious.

Depends on how you have your AVR set up. If you've got the AVR set up to do HDMI to HDMI conversion and then set the AVR to an output resolution of 1080p your AVR will convert the Sky signal to 1080p before it reaches the TV. However you can then turn off video conversion (scaling) on a per...

So why no support for iPhone iOS devices? I know it's a small screen and all but it's mighty convenient (since you can read the item you've purchased on any device you own) for reading articles on the train to work.

Not really relevant with HD. The OP got it spot on. The TV didn't have any HDMI inputs and wasn't HDCP compliant. Xbox games do not require an HDCP monitor as the original Xbox 360 was released before HDMI and it was only added to later models, but because when you use the HDMI output the...

They'll have an all new machine out before they've done that- with it's own long list of bugs to fix!
